My Boomer mom used to tell me the story of how when she was little, her Southern Baptist mom never had any sort of talk about menstruation with her because good Christian mothers just didn't do that in those days or some such shit. As a consequence, when her period finally started when she was 10, she freaked out in terror, screaming for her mom that she was dying. Her mom only laughed at her and threw a tampon at her. As you might imagine, the experience gave my mom all sorts of messed up feelings and shame going forward related to her gender and reproductive system. If only the schools she had attended back in those days had had some sort of mandatory education about this sort of thing, it could've saved my mom a lot of unnecessary trauma.

Of course, with this new bill, Florida GOP is looking to nip that possibility in the bud for future generations of menstruating kids they're hoping to shame and damage, like they did earlier ones. Just another day in a ruthless, Christo-fascist culture.
Stories like this make me so unbelievably sad. Why does society think it is okay to not educate our youth on what is happening to their bodies. I know why, but I hate the mentality of it all.

I see Florida trying to take a page out of the classic Sharia Law.

It's really wild that we're turning back the clock on things that were common in the 80s during the fucking Reagan era. Like peak "won't someone think of the children?" era.

These creeps obsessions with kids is disgusting.
 
My niece literally just got her first period last week and she's just in fourth grade (and thankfully, not living in Florida). This is a very stupid law to pass, even by Republican standards—then again, Republican standards. . .

Leave it to Republicans and people with periods wouldn't even be legitimate citizens. They want us dumb, at home, silenced, suffering, and to only exist for the use of cis men.

Sexualization of women in their prime child-rearing years is a common trend among cis men like him. They all think way too much about women's bodies and how they believe they should be using them.

It's a two pronged attack. They want less autonomy from women AND completely neuter the public education system.

Molyneux is a Alt right banned youtuber and podcaster. This guy has said shit just as bad and even worse than this mostly because he blames all his and other men's problems on women/"bad mothers"

Information = bad. /s

Let's ban it!

The really awful thing is Florida is a testing ground for this shit, and then gets spread to other hellhole states.

We didn't get sex education until fifth grade by which time I already had my period for a year. Getting my period was honestly very traumatic, and that was with already knowing about it because of my older sister and getting a preliminary talk with my mom. Part of it was being the first girl in my grade to get it and feeling ashamed about it.

So yeah, fuck this. Kids need to be taught that this is just a normal thing that happens to some people and it's nothing to be ashamed of.

So much freeze peach, I can't take it.

So this is for Christofascist parents so their kids can be in the dark?

I don't see how they can enforce it.

Florida wants to be the most fascist state ever. They thought Handmaiden's Tale didn't go far enough.

What kind of Taliban ass bullshit is this. If anything, kids need to learn more about menstruation at an early age.

Do not raise children in Florida.

Y'all really need to check why you gotta go with non-white terrorists or Sharia Law as your ultimate standard of evil when there are plenty of white, christofascist, cult-like, terrorists that get up to this level of shit. Not to mention Taliban were created by Americans. It's not just the global south where girls get treated the worst.

Also, Sharia Law is not about this, that's just Islamophobia thinking Muslims do this on the regular. Girls being educated is quite important in Islam. Not a fan of what Muslims follow regularly being equated to terrorism.

Following the Taliban's refusal to let Afghan girls go to school, a Muslim author draws on the importance of women's education in Islam.

I work with Muslims from Afghanistan who have suffered at the hands of the Taliban, which is why they are closer at hand to me than other groups. So fuck you and your implication.

Well, nazis are usually used when it comes to politics, war etc. But, given that the topic is religious people and that the taliban DO stop women from education NOW, while previously having burned "heretics" alive during their attempt to establish a religious empire….

Unless you specifically want to ignore them they fit the bill perfectly. They are a great example of the ultimate evil.

That's plain misogynistic on every count. Half the world has Menstruation and people need to be enlightened about that and not indoctrinated to be ashamed and grossed out.

Whataboutism is blooming on Resetera like that algae blob in the Atlantic.

Yes America bad, Sharia good.

Do share, what is Sharia all about that is so awfully misunderstood?

Every hideous story like this, almost a daily occurrence at this point, just reaffirms our choice to sell our home and move up north this spring. It's so insane how they are in a race to go backwards.
